Another Tuesday, another 2 TCDB trades to recap so I can move these cards off my desk. First up is a 5 pack of Cardinals from member FSCGrad777. I am embarrassed to say these cards have been sitting on my desk for over a month. Not sure why I overlooked them for so long.
1997 Bowman International cards do not scan the greatest. The black border makes this card look a lot darker than what it really is.
These 2 1999 cards are part of team sets that have not been hit for a long time. I only need 1 more card to finish each of them.
The last 2 cards feature a couple of power hitting first basemen. Goldscmidt gets the nod for being a better all around player, but it sure was fun watching McGwire hit. Yes he was a big part of the steriod problem, but I was awestruck watching him during batting practice. The man could hit them a long way.
The second trade from member royals arrived 2 weeks ago. Still not a fast turnaround, but not a month either like the first one.
Funny how both of these trades contained JD Drew short print cards. This one is from 2003 Sweet Spot. I have a soft spot for Drew. He was never going to live up to the hype, but was always a good player. And without him, the Cardinals would have never gotten Adam Wainwright.
Walker was part of the last class of players elected into the Hall of Fame by the sports writers. Remember last year no one received 75% of the vote. Tonight we will find out if anyone gets in this year. This Walker is from the 2005 Pack Wars set. This was the Topps equivalent of the MLB Showdown game cards. Speaking of which
Here are 5 cards from the 2005 Showdown set along with a 2004 Tino Martinez. Good thing the year is printed on the back otherwise you could not tell the difference between the 2 sets.
